BATHROOM PROGRESS #7: THE STARS AT NIGHT




















The bathroom ceiling was plastered this morning and is now drying.  I'm very happy with the results as it is now as flat as a sheet of glass, although it is impossible to tell from this patchy photograph. The darker areas are where the plaster is still wet. 

Cristian, the Eastern European plasterer, gave a very good price of £60 (the quotes I'd had ranged up to £135) and worked diligently on it until it was perfect.  I was suprised that the mess was minimum, as I'd heard that plastering can be very messy.  I'll be using him again at a later date, when it comes to re-plastering the walls and ceilings thoughout.  He's also given a very reasonable quote for the entire flat.

Note the square shaped down lighters, in keeping with the square bathroom theme.  These are IP65 rated for use in zone 1 of the bathroom, and are further protected by the lamps being encased in a glass bubble.
